• The 12 required hours in Orofacial Pain can be earned in any delivery method: lecture, hands-on, self-instruction, teaching or publication.
• The 12 required hours in Anesthesia, Pain Management, Sedation and Pharmacology areas MUST be earned by attending hands-on participation hours.
Participation hands-on credit hours from this course can be applied towards the new Mastership Award requirement for Orofacial Pain.

A New Approach to the TMJ, Oro-Facial Pain, & Functional Occlusion

Course Description:

We have all heard the arguments. Does the occlusion cause the joint problem or does the joint cause the occlusal problem? What role do facial patterns & muscles play? This program takes many of the current concepts in these somewhat confusing disciplines &organizes them in a way so that most practitioners can comfortably differentiate the etiology of occlusal disease, diagnose TMJ disorders, & predict long term success for the restored or non-restored dentition.  Orofacial Pain is one of the 2 new subject codes that became mandatory on Jan. 1, 2017, to be eligible for MAGD certification

These hands-on programs were designed originally for AGD Fellows striving to be AGD Masters. We have discovered that these programs can be valuable to all dentists from new graduates to the most experienced clinicians.
